A light that breathes, a heart that holds.
Pulse is a raw light sculpture created from cement and wood, part of The Body of Earth project—a sensory exploration where elemental forces meet human vulnerability. This piece channels the vitality of a beating heart, using a flickering red light to mimic a pulse, casting an irregular glow that feels both intimate and powerful.
The cement form is hand-sculpted, rough, and organic—intentionally bodily, evoking the fragility and strength of living tissue. The glow is not just illumination, but a signal—a quiet rhythm that mirrors breath, life, and presence.
Rooted in questions like “What keeps the heart beating?” and “Where does stillness lie?”, Pulse invites viewers into a moment of reflection on what connects us to earth, to body, and to one another.

Light in Exhibition
Installed with minimal distraction, the sculpture glows faintly—its red flicker simulating a heartbeat. The quiet rhythm draws viewers in, creating a moment of stillness amidst the surrounding space.
